Chapter 59: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against

On the empty street, Xiao Huang swayed and carried a paper bag of hibiscus cakes, walking absentmindedly.

The pastry was originally a reward for Xiaoxiang to follow Mama Lian as an "apprentice" today, but when she left, if it wasn't for the reminder of the shopkeeper, she almost forgot about it.

Since the guest house left, Sima Yi's words lingered in her mind like a spell, or rather, he would reveal Jimo Haoxuan's past and discernment, which she never expected.

All along, she will always subconsciously separate herself from "Jimo Xiaohuang", she is just her, and everything in the general's mansion is only temporary.

But even so, when she faced Sima Yi's anger, she actually felt ...... Empathy.

Even at a certain moment, she suddenly didn't want to go back to that "home" so much.

…… Perhaps, it's fear?

Because from Sima Yi's memory, she seemed to see the shadow of herself.

In the distance, a few wisps of willow Yang, the sky is densely covered with clouds, layers, different shades, Xiao Huang stopped and looked up, for a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's like some kind of ritual, as if it has been done, and the little stuffiness in the chest cavity will also dissipate.

"Miss, are you ...... Be careful! ”

In a trance, a sharp slamming sound suddenly sounded in her ears, and before she could react to what was going on, a bright color appeared in her afterglow.

"Hey, what's the matter with you, Jimo Xiaohuang? Out-of-body has to look in the right place, the alertness is so low, it's really disappointing for this girl......"

The woman crossed her waist with her hands on her waist, with a disappointed look on her face, and she was preaching to Xiao Huang for a while, quite like an old master training a stubborn monkey.

"Is that you?" Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Xiao Huang was puzzled: "Why are you here?" ”

"Me?" Du Qian pointed to his nose and said with a sneering expression: "If I don't stay here, your little life will see the king of Hades." ”

Xiao Huang frowned slightly, "What are you talking about......

"Miss, how are you, are you alright?" Xiao Xiang hurriedly ran from a distance, and said with some self-reproach: "That person slipped away too fast, I didn't catch up." ”

"Xiaoxiang?"

No wonder she heard someone calling her just now, she thought she was hallucinating, but she didn't expect it...... No, Xiao Huang's mind moved, and his eyes moved back and forth between the two, "Why are you together?" ”

Seeing this, Xiao Xiang immediately explained: "Miss, she insisted on ......"

"This girl went out for a walk, and happened to see your little henchman looking for you everywhere." Du Qian interrupted: "No, this girl sees that she is pitiful, so she has no choice but to be merciful and help her." ”

"You, you are talking nonsense, it is clear that you insist on following me." Xiao Xiang threw her head aside and muttered, "I can't shake it off." ”

"Hey, you have to talk about your conscience, if it weren't for this girl...... Du Qian pointed at Xiao Huang backhandedly, "Can your young lady stand here so intact?" ”

"I ......"

"What are you, just your little way, can you save your young lady?" Seeing Xiaoxiang glaring at her with a resentful face, Du Qian was not angry.

She took a few steps defiantly, picked up a flying knife on the ground, and snorted to the left, "It looks like I'm still an expert, and this thing is a waste of this girl's strength." ”

In confusion, Xiao Huang turned his head to look, and where his eyes touched, a long arrow was slanted into a tree trunk on the side of the road, leaving a white arrow feather embedded in the bark, as if it had taken root.

She involuntarily approached, step by step, until she stopped and reached out to break the bare end of the arrow.

Before the moment, if it wasn't for Du Qian's timely shot, or if her flying knife was a step slower, then the arrow shot through it would probably no longer be a tree...... Thinking of this, Xiao Huang began to break out in a cold sweat all over his body.

She held the heavy broken arrow in her hand, and her hands tightened uncontrollably.

"Anyway, you are really good enough to carry this, you can meet people who release cold arrows when you walk at the foot of the imperial city, you ......"

Seeing that Xiao Huang pestle did not move in front of the tree for a long time, Du Qian closed her mouth inexplicably, she opened her five fingers and shook it, and asked cautiously: "Hey, what's wrong with you, are you stupid?" ”

The latter glanced at him lightly, "Let's go." ”

"Oh, yes, miss." Xiao Xiang echoed, and did not forget to make a grimace behind her when she left.

Seeing that the master and servant walked neatly, Du Qian looked confused, and suddenly reacted from afar, she shouted to the two: "Don't you need to say thank you?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Huang's figure paused slightly, "I'll pay it back." ”

The words fell, and they didn't stay for a moment.

"Huh? Weirdo one. Looking at her back, Du Qian muttered to herself, grinning again: "However, it's quite fun." ”

——————————

Imperial Palace, Taihe Palace.

"You little palace maid, you dare to slander the harem concubines, what crime should you be guilty of?"

The loud cheers started, and the palace maid kneeling in the hall trembled instantly, she hurriedly lowered her head, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, what the slave and maid said is true, don't dare to deceive at all."

Today was at the invitation of Concubine Mo to go to Changle Palace for a small gathering, but my mother just walked halfway to the fetal gas, the doctor said that there is a risk of miscarriage, and please ask the emperor to hurry over and take a look. ”

"What?!" Emperor Xia Yu was furious, turned his head and ordered: "Fu Quan'er, you quickly send someone to pass the order to the Tai Hospital, so that he must ensure the safety of Concubine Qin's mother and son." ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave has already sent someone to do it." Chang Fuquan took a step on the right side, and so returned.

Emperor Xia Yu heard the words "um", he turned around and asked the person in front of the hall, "Are you the personal maid beside Concubine Qin?" ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and then she said happily: "The slave maid's name is Cai'er, and she has been waiting with her mother since she was a child. ”

"Since that's the case...... Emperor Xia Yu suddenly shouted loudly and said, "Come on, drive this useless slave out of the palace!" ”

"What, what?!" Cai'er's eyes widened in disbelief, "Emperor, Emperor, slave ......"

"You have served the master since you were a child, but you can't even serve your own master well, and you let the concubine who is pregnant with a dragon child suffer a miscarriage in vain, what's the use of me keeping you in the palace? Thinking that you have been waiting for the concubine for many years, I will pardon you for your capital crimes, and you will leave the palace from now on. ”

"Nope! Your Majesty, the slave and maid can't leave the Qin Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang, help, Niangniang......"

……

"It's just a little palace maid, although the rod is killed, the emperor can't hurt the dragon body for this."

After the sound died down, Chang Fuquan pondered while grinding the inkstone: "But just drive her out of the palace like this, let her make a lot of noise along the way, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"I'm afraid it's too much?" Emperor Xia Yu picked up the red pen again and opened the fold, without a trace of anger on his face.

Someone pierced his mind, Chang Fuquan smiled awkwardly, "The emperor is Mingjian." ”

"You." Emperor Xia Yu glanced at him obliquely and sneered: "If you don't make some noise, how can Concubine Qin know my attitude?" How can she understand that she is now isolated and helpless? ”

"But now, if Concubine Qin wants to know something, I'm afraid it's not easy."

"Queen...... I'll let her know. Looking at the blood-red stroke on the chapter, Emperor Xia Yu said ruthlessly: "Even if my heirs are thin, I will not leave one, I don't know whether to call me Huang Ama, or the evil seed of the emperor's grandfather!" ”

Chang Fuquan knelt on the steps violently when he heard the sound, and said in shock: "The emperor is angry. ”

Emperor Xia Yu leaned on the dragon chair with his eyes closed, and his tiredness suddenly appeared, "Fu Quan'er, only you can hear these words." ”

Chang Fuquan kowtowed again when he heard the voice, trembling and still didn't dare to relax for a minute, "The slave is afraid." ”

"Get up." Emperor Xia Yu rubbed his eyebrows, "Where is the prince now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, according to the itinerary, the prince should go to Wumapo today."

"Umapo?" As soon as the words changed, Emperor Xia Yu said meaninglessly: "Lafayette always said that the prince was obedient and filial piety, but unfortunately she was not a hundred years old, and the prince was not able to fulfill his filial piety. ”

"Yes, the old slave understands." Chang Fuquan echoed, his eyes fell on the smooth glazed plate, muddy.

——————————

"Is Xiao'er back?"

"Huh?" Xiao Xiang stopped and turned her head, just in time to meet Jimo Liyun who came out of the study, she quickly stood up straight, and replied in a proper manner: "I have seen the general, the young lady is in the room." ”

"Well, it's good to be back." Jimo Liyun nodded, and said gently: "Look at Miss Dian more on weekdays, don't let her always run around outside, okay, you can go down." ”

"Yes."

"Wait!"

Quietly retracting the foot that took half a step, Xiao Xiang said inexplicably: "Is there anything else the general has to order?" ”

"What's in your hand?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiang subconsciously raised her hand, and after she realized what she was holding, she quickly hid it behind her back, "This ......"

Seeing that he wanted to say something and stopped, that is, Mo Liyun felt that the situation was abnormal, "Take it." ”

“…… Be. After hesitating for a few seconds, Xiao Xiang still admitted.

Although the general is usually kind and pleasant to people, as long as he is serious, the young lady can only be honest and obedient, so ...... How could she not be afraid?

But the young lady just asked her to take the broken arrow to the kitchen and burn it, and she didn't seem to say that she couldn't tell the general and the lady, right?

That...... It should be okay to show the general, Xiao Xiang thought nervously as she presented the broken arrow in front of Jimo Liyun.

"Where did you come from?!"

"It's from ......"

As soon as she raised her head, Xiao Xiang's legs took a step back uncontrollably, just because, the look in her sight, she had seen it when Commander Li interrogated the enemy spies......

The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"I've seen the Boss!"

"Get up." Chang Fuquan glanced at the saluting person and asked, "How are things going?" ”

"Everything is ready." Chang Rui got up and walked around Chang Fuquan's back, and said with a hippie smile while skillfully rubbing his shoulders: "What your old man explained, how dare Xiao Ruizi slack off." ”

"Well, this matter is done, take credit for you."

"Yes, Mr. Xie...... Godfather carry. Chang Rui was overjoyed when he heard this, and his work worked harder.

Chang Fuquan's eyebrows trembled in pain, and he couldn't help but reprimand: "Hey, light ...... Tap, you're a stone stake for me?! ”

"Hey, hey." Chang Rui smiled embarrassedly, and the strength in his hand was appropriately lightened, "Godfather, do you feel so comfortable?" ”

Seeing that Chang Fuquan squinted and didn't speak, with a look of enjoyment on his face, Chang Rui leaned his head over with a little flattery, "Godfather, what do you mean by the emperor?" He let Concubine Mo harm the dragon fetus in Concubine Qin's womb, why did he ...... the prince?"

When the words fell, he made a gesture and wiped his neck with his hand.

"The emperor's mind is also something you can figure out?" The latter struck with a fist.

Chang Rui touched his head and sneered: "How dare you, I'm not curious." ”

"Huh, curious? The heart of the emperor has been the most unpredictable since ancient times, you Lao Tzu and I have been waiting for the emperor for decades, and what I have learned the most is how to advance and retreat in front of the king and abide by my duty. ”

Speaking of this, Chang Fu fixed his eyes on the person in front of him and admonished: "If you want to become a long-lived minion, then you must remember this, otherwise no matter how you gain favor in the future, it will be a thing of the past." ”

Chang Rui sneered and said: "Yes, yes, what the godfather taught me is, besides, Xiao Ruizi will talk a lot here with his godfather, and he will never talk about it in front of others." ”

"If only you understood." Chang Fuquan turned his head to look at the corner of the city wall in the distance, and said with emotion: "Which thing in this imperial city can hide from the emperor?" When the crown prince and the concubine Qin were compatible, now the situation was already doomed, but ......"

"But what?"

"As soon as the prince was transferred, the queen was impatient to take action at the concubine, so uncontrollable, it didn't look like her usual style."

"Queen?" Chang Rui was puzzled.

"You stupid boy really think it's Concubine Mo?" Chang Fuquan sneered and said: "Although Mo Xin'er is a little arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and she is also pampered and petty, she can harm the courage of the dragon fetus, and she has not yet grown in her belly." ”

The road from the Imperial Garden to Changle Palace, no matter which one it is, will pass through the He'an Palace on the way, if in front of her own door, the queen has no chance to start, wouldn't it be in vain to waste her name as the lord of the harem?

Not noticing that Chang Fuquan's gaze was getting darker and darker, Chang Ruiwu guessed to himself: "Could it be, the queen also knows that the child in Concubine Qin's belly is...... The Prince's? ”

"That's not impossible, I think that in order to support the crown prince's position in the main palace, is there still less blood on her hands?"

Chang Fuquan sighed, in the final analysis, the prince has this difficulty, and it is just a matter of repaying the mother's debt.
